Edwins Creativity

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. — Edwin H. Land.

Edwin Herbert Land, an American Scientist who was also an inventor. Amongst other things Edwin invented inexpensice filters for polarizing light, instant polaroid photography, and his retinex theory of colour and vision. Not forgetting, one time was listed the worlds richest scientist via the 'Guiness Book of World Records'.

Edwin also quotes...

"If you use
creativity to see the oppurtunities in life's problems, just imagine the options: you can find solutions, that spark of the genius which everyone has inside themselves"

How do you enhance creativity?...Write down ideas; writing them down makes them real. Take risks. Loosen up, be different, be foolish, and have fun. Challenge assumption, be persistent, dont be afraid to dream, be open and jiggle.

Finally....

"Happiness," ... "lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort." - Franklin D. Roosevelt.
